Don't try! Having a baby at your age is the worst thing you could possibly do for the baby and for yourself! Reply

A lot of young girls feel that they'd like to have baby. they want something to look after, and let's admitt it, babies are sweet. Until their your own. Then they scream all night and throw up and wet their nappies... You have to be ready for the negatives as well as the positives, and to b truely prepared it's better to get more life experience for yourself.

Why not ask if you can volunteer in your local playgroup, where you can help to look after the kids, but at the end of the day they go home with their Mum's, and you get a good night's sleep. Or even go to college and take a Childcare course? There's so many options open to you at 17 - you'll cut them all off if you're not careful. Reply

Hi, I am young myself. I am 18. I am also trying for a baby, but I am married. I have thought about all of the good thing, of course. But there are so many bad things. 

I am sure you like to party, and there will be no more of that. I bet you like to go to the mall, there will be no more of that either. Your whole life will revolve around this new life you have brought into this world. 

I would suggest that you wait until you are married, and really love this person with all of your heart. Make sure he has a good paying job that can pay the bills, buy food, provide for you, and a baby. I think the best thing for a child is to have Mummy at home to take care of them, and raise them like they should be. Wait until you are able to support it emotionally, physically, and financially. Please, for your sake and the baby's. This is not a baby doll, this is a precious little life! Reply
